The Power of Prayer

The “last-week-of-school” parade has begun.  Yesterday it was “last pizza day” and last day of Art (for Trey).  My piano students are finishing up their semester.

And today, it was the end of my first year with Moms In Touch.

I have been longing for a MIT group at our school since Trey started kindergarten.  But I haven’t known where to go, or how to get started.  Every time I’d think about it, I’d be in the wrong place to do anything about it.  And when I was in a good place to research, I’d forget.

Until last summer.

The McFBC link mentioned that MIT was organizing a prayer walk for every school in McKinney.  I called the contact person and found that there was a mom already involved with MIT at McGowen!  I was thrilled!

But nothing has equalled the thrill of being able to pray consistently for my children, their teachers, and our school district throughout the year.  We have poured our hearts out together, cried, and rejoiced over the past nine months.  We have seen God do amazing things in and through our children.  We have seen God move among the teachers and staff at our school.  We have seen God work in our school district…and it’s all because of praying moms.  This morning was bittersweet as we concluded our inaugural year.  You could feel the emotion as we prayed together one last time.  Next year, we’ll meet again…but it will be different.  Our group will change.   We hope it will grow.  We may lose a few members.  And we’ll journey together once more on our knees.

If you don’t have a Moms-In-Touch group at your child’s school, click on the link to find out how you can start one.  Even if you pray alone, the power of your prayer can do mighty things in your child’s life and school.
